When I left, we were to tackle the issue of what class RV/Camper may be right for different size families, along with budget. This is a broad ranging question that needs a lot of investigation. Always remember, "Investigate before you invest".
Depending on your budget, there may be some used RV's that can be purchased very easily, especially used ones. In some cases buying used is just as good as buying new. When going to dealerships the MSRP is not the actual price, but to the unsuspecting buyer not doing there homework they are like barbecued chicken to a salesmen. You must arm yourself with the knowledge not to be deceived. Remember, for anything towed{Travel Trailer/Fifth Wheel/Popup} you must have a pickup truck or SUV to carry it along. For Class A, B or C you don't need a pickup truck or SUV, but you may want to tow your vehicle. There are a plethora of question just to answer before you go to look at any RV. Ask yourself these questions:
1. How many people are you traveling with?
2. How much space do you need?
3. How do you intend on using the RV?
4. How often do you want to travel?
5. What is your budget.
6. Do you want to use the restroom outside or inside.
7. During the winter, do you want heat or is it alright do everything in the cold.
These questions have to be answered because it will help you make an informed decision.
The Class A - for me the Class A is what many consider to be the most convenient because it provides all the amenities of home. A/C, heat, bathroom, stove, microwave, and all the comforts of home. The Class A model RV can get anywhere from 8 to 12 miles to the gallon(Diesel) and 6 to 8 gallons for gas
The Class B - is similar to the Minivans. They have all the comforts of home on a smaller scale. These are much easier to drive than the Class A. In my experience the older full timers own these kind of RVs. They come sleek and fashionable as well as expensive and my roomier. In these RVs when using the shower you will be sitting down.
The Class C - these RVs are very similar to Class A with the exception of the cockpit area which sits lower than the Class A. Usually the Class C's are gas models. For the men, your wives may be a little more willing to help you drive because it feels more like a car. Normally, Class C model RV run on gas, which means maybe 6 to 8 miles to the gallon.
The Fifth Wheel - if you are looking for eloquence then this is an ideal RV. They come in many different styles and sizes, but you must tow it with a vehicle. They have many different amenities in some cases than the other RVs, like an upstairs, and separate rooms for the kids, and parents. A beautiful living room in the center of the RV separating the rooms making it a lil more private for the couples looking to share each other. In most Fifth Wheels in the living room is an island, kitchen, big screen TV, and stove/oven.
The Travel Trailer - many times is a smaller scale of the Fifth Wheel but have all the amenities of the Fifth Wheel. The Travel Trails are very affordable compared to the other RVs discussed. With everything included inside.
The Pop up Trailer - these come with a bathroom room inside, but with one hitch....YOU WILL BE USING THE BATHROOM IN FRONT OF YOUR FAMILY. Some come with the kitchen outside along with the faucet and shower. The sleeping space is small in comparison to the other vehicles and very similar to the Class B. These are really the most affordable.
So, you see that you have your work cut out for you. I suggest you do your homework.
"Investigate before you invest".
